Keith Haring
Keith Haring, born in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1958, was a leading figure in the 1980s New York City street art movement. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Haring's early career was marked by his graffiti-inspired chalk drawings in subway stations, which quickly gained public attention. His work, characterized by bold lines, vivid colors, and iconic symbols like the radiant baby, often addressed social issues such as AIDS awareness and apartheid. Notable works include "Crack is Wack" and "Tuttomondo." Haring's art is featured in major institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He passed away in 1990, leaving a lasting impact on pop and street art. Read more about Arts.
